Porous metals such as foams and sponges are produced by a wide variety of industrially
applied techniques mainly for load bearing and structural applications. Their functional …

X‐ray tomography is a versatile tool in materials research and engineering since it allows for
a non‐destructive and three‐dimensional mapping of the constituents of a heterogeneous …

The solubility of hydrogen in liquid and solid aluminum is reviewed. Based on classical
nucleation theory, it is shown that pores cannot nucleate either homogeneously or …

Apart from density and alloy composition, the structure of solid metallic foams determines
their mechanical performance. Herein, the effect of ambient pressure on the foaming …

The paper investigates the stabilization behaviour of in-situ created, sub-micron sized MgAl
2 O 4 (spinel) particles at various concentration in Al-11 wt% Si foams. The foam evolution …

This study compared the foaming behavior of in-situ 6061-2MgAl 2 O 4 composites
processed by ultrasonic treatment and conventional route. Foaming of these composites …

Aluminium composite foams have recently gained significant interest in the structural,
automotive, aerospace, and marine sectors owing to their ultra-low weight and excellent …

Metallic foams have now reached the maturity of development in terms of process stability,
materials properties and costs required for industrial applications. The fine-tuning of the …

Age hardening is an effective strategy to improve the strength of aluminium alloys containing
magnesium and silicon. The same strategy can be adopted to increase the strength of the …

This study investigated the annealing process of severely-deformed magnesium through
experimental testing and theoretical modeling to uncover the recrystallization mechanism …
